Today the town is famed as, amongst other things, the birthplace of the Land Rover car marque (whose cars are still manufactured at the Solihull plant), home of Solihull Moors FC and the training facilities for the British Equestrian teams. It became part of the West Midlands metropolitan county in 1974.
